That looks wrong to me... the switch is bigger than its shown to be here isnt it?

Well, it all depends on whether the sceen is 6.2" as reported. If so this is a pretty accurate representation of its size. The screen is give or take the the height of the 3DS XL's body and just a bit smaller then the width.

Same screen size at the WiiU - but the button/trigger layout is of course much tighter with a lot less breathing space compared to WiiU gamepad.

Of course, if the the screen is bigger - everything else scales too. However,  3.7ish inches for the Joy cons doesn't seem that far off. 



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

If thats correct than that is pocketable. Although I would say you would want to put the joycons in your other pocket unless you have massive pockets



That's not as big as some people people were pointing. Is not a 3DS but is pretty portable and looks sexy.

Hmm, looks about right

I still cant get over how asymmetrical the joy cons are. Those controllers will feel very different depending on whether you have the left one or the right one. This feature seems like such an afterthought and an unnecessary cost.



Am I the only one who loves the stick placement? It reminds me of the Xbox layout, which has become my favorite.

Even though I barely ever use controllers with asymmetric sticks I agree it is the best layout. I want my thumbs to be symmetrical, so I want the main stick (left) and the facebuttons on the same level. Basically old controllers, N64, Dreamcast, up to Gamecube I guess were the same thing. So yes, this is a good thing.
